How a Pet Memorial Portrait Comes Together
A pet memorial portrait can be just them, or the two of you side by side again. There's no rush at any step, and you don't pay anything to see it. You can stop at any point and come back later from the link we email you.
Choose a favorite photo
Pick a photo where you can see their face clearly. It doesn't need to be recent.
Add a photo of you (optional)
If you'd like to be in the portrait, add one clear photo of yourself. It doesn't matter that the photos were taken years apart.
See it free, then keep it
Your three watermarked previews are ready in minutes. Keep the one that feels right for $19, or all three for $33. If you're not ready, your previews will wait for 30 days.
Memorial Portrait Looks
Four gentle looks, made with soft light and calm color. No wings, no halos, nothing that feels like a greeting card. Each pet memorial portrait keeps their real coat, markings and expression.
Rainbow Meadow
Running free in a meadow beneath a gentle rainbow. For the dog who never walked anywhere when they could run. This pet memorial portrait can show them alone or with you nearby.
Together Again
One more moment side by side, the way it always was. This memorial portrait puts you back next to them.
Among the Stars
Watching over you from a sky full of stars. Quiet, dark blue and peaceful. Many people choose it for a cat, or for a pet memorial portrait that will hang in a bedroom.
Forever Golden
Resting in warm afternoon light, peaceful and at home. This look is for pets only, so they have the frame to themselves, the way you might remember them on a slow afternoon in their favorite spot.
You and Your Pet in One Picture
Most of us have hundreds of photos of our pets and almost none with them. Someone was always holding the phone. A pet memorial portrait can fix that, gently. Add one photo of you, from any year, and choose Together Again, Rainbow Meadow or Among the Stars. You don't need a photo of the two of you together.
If another pet is still with you, they can join the one you miss, so siblings stay together. A portrait holds up to two people and two pets, and each one needs their own photo.
Personalized Pet Memorial Portrait Ideas
A few ideas for making it theirs:
- Their favorite spot. Forever Golden for the pet who claimed the sunny corner of the couch.
- The walk they lived for. Rainbow Meadow for the dog who pulled toward the field.
- Side by side again. Together Again puts you next to them, and two pets who grew up together can share any look.
- A quiet night sky. Among the Stars for a cat who watched the world from the window.
- Pair it with the Rainbow Bridge poem. Many people frame it beside the poem, or read it aloud when they share the picture.
- Mark the day each year. Schedule the gift page to reach your family on their birthday or the anniversary.
- Keep them on your phone. Set it as your lock screen and see them every time you pick it up.
Keeping Their Collar, Name and Dates Close
The details you remember belong with the portrait, but not all of them belong on it.
- Their collar. If they're wearing it in your photo, it's usually kept in the pet memorial portrait. If it's missing after you buy, ask for it in a free redo note.
- Their name. Add it when you start. It appears on the gift page and in your file names.
- Dates. Write their birthday or the years you shared in your note, and it opens the gift page.
We don't add text to the portrait image itself, so it stays clean for any frame.
Dog and Cat Memorial Portraits
Every pet leaves a different kind of quiet behind. A dog memorial portrait often remembers a big presence: the greeting at the door, the walk at 6 a.m., the weight on your feet at night. A cat memorial portrait tends to remember something quieter, like the spot in the sun they always found. Both start the same way, with one photo where you can see their face.
Choosing the Photo for a Pet Memorial Picture
The best photo for a pet memorial picture isn't always the newest. Look for the one where their face is clear and they look like themselves.
- Old prints are fine. Scan them with your phone's scanning app or ask a photo lab, then upload the scan.
- Clear beats recent. A sharp photo from five years ago works better than a blurry one from last month.
- Small photos may not work. Photos need to be at least 600 pixels on the short side. Try the original from the camera roll, not a copy from social media.
- A still from a video can work. If the frame is sharp and the face is clear, take a screenshot of that moment and try it.
- Try it anyway. The preview is free, so you can see how a photo works before you decide.
Giving One to Someone Who's Grieving
When a friend's pet crosses the rainbow bridge, flowers fade and cards get put away. A portrait of their pet is something they can keep. Make one from a photo they've shared, as long as you're sure they'd welcome it, and add a short note: their pet's name and one thing you remember. For what to send and when, see our guide to pet sympathy gifts for a friend. For framed prints, ornaments and other ways to give it, see pet memorial gifts.
Pet Memorial Portrait FAQ
Can you make a portrait from an old or blurry photo?
Often, yes. An old photo works well when the face is clear. Very blurry or tiny photos may not, and the upload check tells you as soon as you upload. The preview is free, so you can always try.
Can I be in the memorial portrait with my pet?
Yes. Add one photo of you and choose a look that includes a person, like Together Again. Your photo can be from any year.
Can you add their name, a date or their collar?
Their name appears on the gift page and in your file names, and dates can go in your note. A collar they wear in your photo is usually kept in the portrait. We don't print text on the image itself.
How soon will it be ready?
Previews are ready in minutes. After you pay, the full-resolution original is ready to download, and the print-ready file follows shortly after.
What files and sizes do I get?
A full-resolution original (4:5, at least 2,400 pixels on the long side) and a print-ready 8×10 file at 300 DPI. It also fits 4×5 and 16×20 frames. Print it at home or at any photo lab, including for a memorial or service. We don't print or ship anything.
Can two pets be in one pet memorial portrait?
Yes. Up to two pets and up to two people can share one portrait. Upload a separate photo for each.
How much does a pet memorial portrait cost?
The preview is free. One portrait is $19 and all three are $33, the same price as every other portrait.
How is the portrait made?
Digitally, from the photos you upload, using image technology. It isn't made by hand, and every portrait is new. Read how it's made.
What if it doesn't look like them?
Before you pay, try a new set once for free. After you pay, each portrait gets 2 free redos with a note like "her left ear always folded over." Still obviously wrong? Ask for a full refund within 14 days.
Some pictures are worth making, even now.
